    STOP SHRINKING YOURSELF TO FIT IN

    Send us a message ✨ Have you ever created a post, gone to press send… and stopped because you suddenly started worrying about what everyone else might think? In this episode of Beyond the Tweezers, I’m talking about why we need to stop shrinking ourselves to fit in - in our businesses, on social media and within the beauty industry. I share how I used to hold myself back because I was scared of being judged, why I felt like I had to behave differently as I became an educator and judge, and the reel that sat in my drafts for weeks because I was too scared to post it. This Episode is sponsored by Lash Oasis Use Code: BEYOND15 for 15% off the Korean Hybrid Lash Lift Course: https://lashoasis.co.uk We also talk about finding your own voice instead of echoing what everyone else is saying, sharing your experiences even when they’re different, and treating your content as an experiment rather than obsessing over likes, views and what people might think. Because the posts you’re most nervous to share might be the ones people connect with the most. Stop shrinking yourself. Stop trying to fit the mould. Your experience, your opinions and your voice matter. 🩷 If this episode resonates with you, send it to someone who needs to hear it  and make sure you follow Beyond the Tweezers so you never miss an episode!

    Going Viral, Social Media & WILD Client Dilemmas – with my bestie Ellie Anderson

    Send us a message ✨ This week on Beyond the Tweezers, I’m joined by someone very special - my best friend of 26 years, Ellie Anderson. Ellie works in the hair industry specialising in hair extensions and hair up, and this episode is basically one big, honest bestie catch up about what it’s REALLY like trying to build a business while navigating social media and everything else around it! We talk about the pressure to constantly create content, comparing yourself to people online, finding your confidence on camera, AI generated content and what actually happens when one of your posts goes viral, because as Ellie puts it, 2 million views definitely doesn’t mean 2 million customers. This Episode is sponsored by Lash Oasis Use Code: BEYOND15 for 15% off your order: https://lashoasis.co.uk We also get into the side of social media that isn’t spoken about enough… negative comments, putting your life online, protecting your privacy when working from home and knowing where to draw the line between sharing your business and sharing too much. And then things get slightly chaotic when we play Would You Though? -  our client dilemma game. A client no shows you and then posts about her “self-care day”… are you liking the post? A client tells you she’s sleeping with another client’s husband… are you saying something? Someone threatens you with a bad review unless you refund them… what are you doing? This one is fun, unfiltered and full of the conversations we normally have behind closed doors, with plenty of laughs along the way. If you enjoy this more relaxed, easy style episode, let me know because Ellie might just have to come back on Beyond the Tweezers for a regular debrief! 👀 Follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode. 💗 This Episode is sponsored by Lash Oasis Use Code: BEYOND15 for 15% off your order: https://lashoasis.co.uk Thank you for pressing play and joining me!

    The Truth About Lash Product Safety: What Every Lash Artist Needs to Know | Frankie Widdows

    Send us a message ✨ As lash artists, we work around our products every single day… but how much do we actually know about what we’re using? In this episode of Beyond the Tweezers, I’m joined by Frankie Widdows — an OG of the lash industry who has spent the last 10 years passionately educating lash artists about product safety. This Episode is sponsored by Lash Oasis Use Code: BEYOND10 for 10% off your order: https://lashoasis.co.uk After becoming seriously unwell while working as a lash artist herself, Frankie became determined to understand why. What followed was years of research into lash adhesives, ingredients, exposure and the products we use every single day - ultimately shaping the mission behind her brand, Eyelash Excellence. We talk about the early symptoms Frankie experienced, why lash artists need to think about their own health as much as their clients’, cosmetic grade lash products, what questions we should be asking the brands we buy from, and why product safety is a conversation the industry needs to be having more openly. Frankie also shares her incredible journey from spending 10 years in the police - including working with police dogs, to building a career in lashes, creating her own products and becoming one of the industry's most passionate voices for safer working practices. This isn't about creating fear around the products we use. It's about education, asking questions and understanding what we're working with when we're exposed to these products day after day. If you're a lash artist, educator or someone working with lash products regularly, this is an episode I really think you need to hear. 🎙️ Beyond the Tweezers with Karis Warren 🎧 Guest: Frankie Widdows — Eyelash Excellence 📲 Connect with Frankie: https://www.instagram.com/eyelashexcellence?stkn=ajgwbTRveDVwZzhx This Episode is sponsored by Lash Oasis Use Code: BEYOND10 for 10% off your order: https://lashoasis.co.uk Follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    Work Hard Now Or Have It Hard Later

    Send us a message ✨ I don’t want to work this hard forever… and that’s exactly why I’m willing to put the work hard in now. In this solo episode of Beyond the Tweezers, I’m talking about something I think we sometimes need reminding of.. if you want a different life, you have to be willing to do the work to create it. Episode Sponsor: Beauty Rules  Grab your ticket to the Elleevation Masterclass on the 27th September in London. Use code: FAB50 for £50 off your ticket! Grab your ticket now:https://beautyrules.co.uk/products/elleevation-masterclass We hear so much about slowing down, protecting our energy and creating more freedom - and I completely agree, I am one of them people. Looking after yourself matters. Rest matters. Having a life outside of your business matters. But there are also seasons where you have to graft. There have been so many times when I’ve been tired, when I could have sat watching Netflix for another two hours, or when I simply couldn’t be bothered. But I know the life and career I want in the future, and nobody else is going to build that for me. I don’t want to still be working on the tools at 50 because I HAVE to. I want choices. I want freedom. And I know that what I do now is helping me create that later. You can work hard now and make things easier for your future self, or you can choose easy now and potentially make things harder later. This episode is your reminder that no one is coming to save you. Your goals are yours - and sometimes, you have to be willing to get up and go after them even when you don’t feel like it. Because the life you keep imagining? You have to be the one to build it. Grab your ticket to the Elleevation Masterclass on the 27th September in London. Use code: FAB50 for £50 off your ticket!

    Why The Client Experience & Vibe You Create Matters More Than You Think | Minola Tuite

    Send us a message ✨ How do you create a beauty business that clients don’t just visit once… but keep coming back to for years? This week I’m joined by Minola Tuite, whose journey started working from her mum’s lounge and conservatory. In the early days, she even volunteered in a salon for free to gain experience and learn what it was really like to work in a salon environment, before eventually opening a salon of her own. This episode is sponsored by Beauty Rules Grab your ticket to the Elleevation Masterclass on the 27th September in London. Use code: FAB50 for £50 off your ticket! Grab your ticket now: https://beautyrules.co.uk/products/elleevation-masterclass We talk about the reality of opening a salon for the first time - the struggles, the challenges and everything Minola learned along the way, as well as how she’s gone on to create a thriving salon and a client experience that has kept some of her clients with her for around 10 years. Minola shares how much thought goes into the details we can sometimes overlook: your salon interior, branding, atmosphere, client experience and even the different senses your clients pick up on from the moment they walk through the door. We also talk about her idea of creating a “third space” for her clients, somewhere they can escape, switch off and instantly feel relaxed and why the experience and vibe you create can be just as important as the treatment itself. But building a thriving business also came with a point where Minola realised she was doing too much. She shares the period where she was cramming clients into her diary and her now husband asked her, “Do I have to book an appointment to see you?” and how that changed the way she structures her business today. We also get into bridal lashes and how Minola naturally became a go to lash artist for brides, how she creates a bridal experience beyond just the lashes, and we finish with a little Bridal Lashes: This or That. If you want to fill your diary, build a loyal client base and create an experience that makes your clients genuinely excited to come back, this episode is for you. 💗 Connect with Minola: https://www.instagram.com/thisisminola?igsi=NDY1bGY1MmdxYjBo This episode is sponsored by Beauty Rules  Grab your ticket to the Elleevation Masterclass on the 27th September in London.

    I Got Fully Booked… And Hated What My Business Became

    Send us a message ✨ Being fully booked used to be the goal. I wanted to be the person saying, “Sorry, I’ve got nothing for five weeks.” I wanted the waitlist. I wanted to feel in demand. And when I finally got there, it felt amazing… until it didn’t.

Shop Lash Oasis: https://lashoasis.co.uk/ Grab your ticket to the Back To Business Online Conference: https://loredanairimia.com/ Use Code: BEYOND10 In this solo episode, I’m talking about what happened when being fully booked started leaving me overwhelmed, drained and feeling completely stuck in my own business - including the moment I caught myself secretly hoping a client wouldn’t rebook. I share how getting a business mentor, understanding my numbers and changing my prices completely changed the way I looked at my business, as well as what I learnt from trying to expand my business last year and why something not working out doesn’t always mean you’ve failed. We also talk about goals, money, knowing your worth and why the version of success you’re chasing now might not actually be the version you want when you get there. And at the end, I’m giving you some questions to think about in your own business, because maybe being fully booked isn’t actually the goal. Maybe the goal is building a business that works for the life you want.

    Are You Winging Your Business Finances? With Gemma The Beauty Boss Accountant

    Send us a message ✨ If the money side of your beauty business has ever made you feel like you're just winging it… this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Gemma, The Beauty Boss Accountant, who has built a career helping people in our industry understand their numbers without making accountancy feel scary, overwhelming or ridiculously complicated. We start with Gemma's story - from growing up on a council estate and being underestimated at school, to losing her dad while sitting her accountancy exams and using that experience as motivation to make something of her life. Then we get into the stuff I know SO many beauty business owners have questions about. We talk about managing your money, business bank accounts, increasing your prices, what you can and can't claim as an expense, Making Tax Digital, accountants, sole trader vs limited company and when it might actually be time to make that change. Gemma also busts some common accounting myths and we put her to the test with a game of “Can I claim it or not?” 😆 What I love about Gemma is how simple she makes everything feel. There's no confusing accountant language and no judgement, just genuinely useful advice that actually makes sense for people running businesses in the beauty industry. Because whether you've been in business for ten years or you're only just starting out, understanding your numbers is something we ALL need to get better at. And as Gemma reminds us in this episode… we only get one life. Sometimes you've just got to put yourself out there and go for it! Grab your cuppa and enjoy! ☕️ ✨ Main Sponsor: This Episode is Sponsored by London Lash, the go to brand for professional lash products, education, and tools designed to help artists achieve consistent, long-lasting results.
